Sustainable workspace transformation for RSM in Leicester

The 13,000 sq ft office space was optimised to meet the evolving needs of RSM's workforce of around 50 people in Leicester. The reconfigured first floor features a variety of work settings for both focused and collaborative work, upgraded meeting rooms, a client suite, and a new central breakout area.

Workplace sustainability was a key priority. The project achieved the SKA Gold certification, one of the highest standards for sustainable workspaces. A number of our sustainable design services were implemented including LED lighting, sensor controls, and air quality monitoring. Materials were also selected for their environmental credentials.

"We worked closely with RSM to deeply understand their workspace needs and deliver an adaptable, inspiring and environmentally-responsible office," said Stephen Parsons, Managing Director at Office Principles. "The success of this project is a testament to the strong partnership we've built with RSM through multiple collaborations, and we look forward to continuing to upgrade their offices across the UK."

The refurbishment enables RSM to consolidate into a smaller, more efficient workspace on the first floor of Rivermead House, while freeing up the ground floor for subletting. Future adaptations are also simplified thanks to the furniture-driven design.

Kevin Harris, Leicester Office Managing Partner, RSM UK, said: “Right from the outset, working with Office Principles was an enjoyable and positive experience. OP invested significant time at the design stage to fully understand our needs and requirements and provided effective solutions to meet these.

“On-site project management was professional and created minimum disruption to our business, delivering to agreed timeframes and budgets. Throughout the entire project, the OP team were very professional, proactive and a pleasure to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.”
